In 2018, Kansas is ranked 12th in Meat goat inventory and 32nd in the nation for the number of sheep. Adding in Bison, these livestock enterprises combine for a direct output of $11.5 million and create 75 jobs in the state. Small ruminants require less space and grazing resources, making them easier to raise on small acreages.
Last year after our NE Kansas Sheep & Goat school, several people had asked for more information on Parasite prevention and control and vaccination information. Dr. Alison Crane, our KSU Sheep & Goat Specialist had us mail out her recommended vaccination protocol to meeting participants. Now we are going to have Dr Crane come out and present the latest research information regarding parasites and diseases.
That meeting will take place on November 12, 2019 at the NE Kansas Heritage Complex, 12200 214th Road in Holton. The meeting will begin at 7 pm. All interested persons, young and old are invited to attend.
Show me the money!! The Meadowlark Extension District will be hosting a Grant Writing Workshop for Agriculture enthusiasts. These grants will support a new project or program you are thinking about adding to your farm. You will learn sources of data, to help you write the grant, where to find grants just for agriculture, how to write a great grant proposal and what elements you should include.
This will be presented by Nancy Daniels, Community Vitality Specialist with Kansas State University. We will have Kerri Ebert with the SARE program on hand to answer your questions. The program is planned for December 13th, from 9:30 am to 3:00p.m. There is a $10 registration per person. We ask that you register with our office by December 9th.
All Extension program are open to anyone interested in attending.
